    Jakey, feed your hound some Neuro, they are a small company that uses real cuts instead of snouts and hoofs. They also have a large breed formula with glucosamine in it – good for the dog’s hips. And dogs love the stuff. If you want to add variety, they have good canned food as well. My favorite is Lamb Chunks, which I eat to celebrate great trading days.

    Been stuffing myself with the Lamb Chunks and switched over into a daytrader, watching charts like they were good porn. I am silent with rage and watching the ticks too much to post anything lately. I am going to work through this Bernanke voodoo shitspell in workmanlike fashion, however I am here reading in the afterhours. Saw your call on the double dow.. still going in?

    MBIA – $2.4B loss

    HSBC – $3.2B increase to loan loss reserves

    IndyMac – $184MM loss; lowering divvy

    SOV – Raising $1.5B. The money quote from a SOV spokesman, “We’re not taking this action from a position of stress”. WTF? The stock going from $25 to $8 in a year implies everyone perceives stress except the SOV shill, I mean, spokesman.

    This is all great news, because the worst was over several weeks ago .

  23. Mother Merrill

    courtesy of minyanville –

    What would happen if…

    …We called Mr. Thain over at Mother Merrill (MER) and said sell your level 3 assets now.

    If someone told me to liquidate my fund and all client portfolios, including institutional portfolios, I’m pretty sure I could be done by Wednesday.

    It’s funny. I just saw the following headlines:

    * Merrill says it took another $5.2 billion in write downs.
    *
    Merrill says balance sheet write down happened since Q1.
    *
    Merrill balance sheet write down doesn’t hurt income, CFO says.
    *
    Merrill Level 3 Assets came on balance sheet.
    *
    Merrill CFO says Level 3 increase didn’t raise risk level.
    *
    Merrill CFO says 20% ROE is achievable.

    OK, I’ll stop. Let me tell you why this is disturbing. Since last year, Merrill has now written down $37 billion in capital. It has raised $17.9 billion. This is otherwise known as balance sheet destruction, folks. And the last round cost ’em 8 5/8% on a huge preferred deal (that is still under water I might add). The company also sold 30 year paper at 320 to Treasuries that quickly went to 350.

    So tell me, how do you make 20% ROE on that model? You don’t.

    And what if someone said, sell your Level 3 stuff. By Wednesday. First of all, MER couldn’t. Second of all, it would force others to do the same.

    This is the sort of stuff that bothers me about the next couple of years. More later.

    Gap, USO has done much better…
    Sounds like we should all be looking for poorly run ETFs and shorting both the long and short and taking the difference.

    UCR short, DCR short…
    UCR short $10,000 loss as it climbs 58% up loss of about $6000
    DCR gain as it drops. $10,000 short makes you gain about $9000.
    30% gain… pretty amazing neutral, completely hedged secure return.
    If you shorted DIG and DUG, you’d have similar results (about 32%)…

    Would be interesting to see what would be the most profitable hedged strategy with etfs and their inverses that trade options. Buying puts on both and selling calls on both?

    I began cigarette smoking while I was a kid. That was basically the dumbest mistake of my life. Now I’m older and I’ve got bronchitis. While looking to give up smoking cigarettes, I came across the smokeless cigarettes pcc kit and will try it out. Hopefully, it’s going to assist me with this crappy dependence.
